Erasing Unwanted Performance Data (Realtime Recording); Microscope Editing Procedure - Boss SP-505 Owner's Manual

A count-in will not be inserted if recording was started
by a Start message from an external MIDI device.
If you press [F1] (RHR ON), rehearsal mode will be
selected. Pressing the pads will produce sound, but
nothing will be recorded. Press [F1] (RHR OFF) once
again to exit rehearsal mode.

8. While you listen to the metronome, press the pads to
record your performance.
If note messages from an external MIDI device are used
to play samples, those messages will be recorded.
* When performance data is recorded for a sample whose Play
Type is PHRASE, the sample BPM will automatically
synchronize to the pattern BPM. If you do not want it to
synchronize, set the Play Type to SINGLE. (p. 45)
To switch the part being recorded, press [PART].
As necessary, use the VALUE dial to set QTZ (Quantize).
* If you want to add dynamics (accents) while you record,
change the pad accent. (p. 30)
If you want to select a pad from a different pad bank,
press [PAD BANK] to switch the pad bank. (p. 30)
* The pads of a Chop bank cannot be recorded as they are. You
must copy them to another bank before recording them. (p. 49–
50)
9. When you are finished recording, press [STOP].
You are returned to the recording standby screen.
10. Press [STOP] once again to stop recording.
Never turn off the power while the display indicates
"Keep Power On!"
Erasing unwanted performance

During realtime recording, you can hold down [DEL] and
hold down a pad to erase the performance data for the
corresponding pad during the interval that elapses while you
continue pressing the pad.

Input field
MEAS (measure: beat: clock)
This specifies the time location at which pad data is input.
(Example) 1:3:00 Measure 1, beat 3, clock 00
QTZ (Quantize)
Quarter note ( )
eighth note ( )
sixteenth note ( )
32nd note ( )
OFF
In Microscope edit, you can specify the note value of the
distance that you will move forward or backward when
[FWD] or [BWD] are pressed.
(Example) QTZ Eighth note

that will be input Pad [1]
Event field
MEASURE (measure: beat: clock)
This indicates the performance location.
(Example) 2:1:48 Measure 1, beat 1, clock 48
PAD (pad bank – pad number)
This indicates the pad that was input.
(Example) 12-3 Pad bank 12, pad number 3
* In the case of [EXT SOURCE], this will be displayed as "1-17".
ACC (Accent)
This indicates the volume. If the event was input via MIDI,
this will be the velocity data.
(Example) 100 Pad accent 100 or velocity 100
